Google pointed to the Internet Engineering Task Force’s efforts to bring about an email standard that supports addresses with non-Latin and accented Latin characters. Websites and email providers, like Google, would have to adopt the standard in order for it to become a reality.

Google notes that less than half of the people in the world have a mother tongue that uses the Latin alphabet.

Gmail users cannot yet create accounts using non-Latin and accented characters. Google Calendar will soon be able to recognize those characters, according to the post.

“Language should never be a barrier when it comes to connecting with others and with this step forward, truly global email is now even closer to becoming a reality,” the company wrote.

Google added 13 new languages to Gmail last month, bringing the total to 71 languages or about 94 percent of the world’s Internet users. The recent additions include Afrikaans, Armenian, Georgian, Nepali, and more.
